Thereto was spread 20 micro liter a testing solution prepared by mixing the present amide compound and cypermethrin to a predetermined concentration (for treated group). Control where 20 micro liter ion-exchange water was spread was prepared (for non-treated group). After confirming that the spray solution was dried, conidium of gray mold fungus (Botrytis cinerea) was suspended into potato dextrose broth (DIFCO) in a density of about 10⁵ conidia/mL and was then subjected to a spray inoculation. After leaving to stand the leaf disk in a growth chamber set up at 15° C. for six days, an onset area on each leaf was measured and a preventive value was then calculated by the following equation 1.
